Meme/ Top Ten Tuesday

Posted on October 20, 2015October 20, 2015 by Cindy

Top Ten Tuesday is an original feature/weekly meme created over at The Broke and the Bookish. This feature was created because they are particularly fond of lists over at The Broke and the Bookish. They love to share their lists with other bookish folks and would LOVE to see your top ten lists!

Each week they will post a new Top Ten list that one of their bloggers at The Broke and the Bookish will answer. Everyone is welcome to join. All that they ask is that you link back to The Broke and the Bookish on your own Top Ten Tuesday post AND add your name to the Linky widget so that everyone can check out other bloggers lists! If you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment on their post. Have fun with it! It’s a fun way to get to know your fellow bloggers.

This week’s prompt is:

10 Wishes I’d Ask The Book Genie To Grant Me (a new book from a certain author, a reading superpower, a library that is your absolutely #librarygoals, a character to come to life, to met a certain author etc. etc.) YOU DREAM IT AND THE BOOKISH GENIE CAN DO IT.

I love today’s Top Ten Tuesday prompt, don’t you? Who doesn’t like to dream? I mean if you are going to dream, dream big or go home I say…

Dear Book Genie, please find enclosed my Top Ten wishes that are in no particular order.

I would love to have the ability to read like my favorite character from Criminal Minds, Spencer Reid. Can you image how many books you could? That would be a great way to clear your TBR pile.
Since I would like to speed read, I would need a way to get my reviews done just as quickly so I would love to be able to think about the review as I am reading and some how have it connected to the computer so that it could write my review for me.
I would love to have a library like Belle from Beauty and the Beast.
I would love to have all expense paid trips to all the book conventions in the world. I have only ever been to BEA in NYC but how fun would it be to go to ALA, RT Booklovers Convention, etc
I would love it if all books in a series were matching in format, height and cover design.
I would love to read all day so I would need to be able to split myself up so that I can do household chores.
I would love to have an unlimited book budget to buy all the books I want
I would love to have the subsciption services that are book related monthly
I would love for my book blogger friends to get their wishes.
Finally I would love to be able to see my book blogger friends more often then once ever two years.

What would you as the for?

Here is my Top Ten list:

V.C Andrews. I use to read each and everyone of the books once they came out but over the past few years I have stopped reading them but still continue to buy them in hopes that I will pick them up to read.
James Patterson. I know I need to catch up I am a few books behind\
Terry Spear. If you follow my blog you know how much I love reading her books.
Geronimo Stilton. This isn’t really mine but Michael’s
Thea Stilton. This is another one that is Michael’s
Judy Blume
Melissa Marr
Cassandra Clare
Kathy Reichs
Scott Westerfield

So that is my list. Do you have any authors that you collect?

Meme/ Top Ten Tuesday

Posted on February 5, 2013April 14, 2014 by Cindy

Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme that is hosted by the lovely bloggers over at The Broke and The Bookish .

Today’s Topic is:

Top Ten Best Bookish Memories (waiting in line for a new release, meeting an author, or some sort of great experience with a particular book that was unlike others)

When I saw this week’s topic I had to sit and try to come up with a list of Ten Bookish Memories, there has been so many amazing book memories throughout my life and since blogging that its hard to pick the best because they are all pretty amazing.

So in not particular order here is my Top Ten List of Best Bookish Memories.

My sister sharing books with me that she read. I remember reading all kinds of those teen romances and she was the one who introduced me to V.C Andrews. She would always send me a small box of books almost monthly and I loved getting that parcel.
Meeting authors and getting my books signed.
When I started my blog I thought I was the only Montreal book blogger out there but within a few weeks I discovered that I wasn’t the only one.
Meeting the Montreal bloggers for the first time, Avis, Donna and Tina. I was so nervous and excited.
Going to BEA for the first time in 2010 with the Montreal Bloggers. We all travelled together there and back on the train it was so much fun.
Going to my first publishing house and meeting with the reps from Sourcebooks. I was so thrilled when I got invited to Sourcebooks to see the offices and having lunch with Paul.
Meeting bloggers who I follow such as Alita, Sheila , Kathy , Kim , Kate and so many others.
Going to Lesley Livingston’s book signing and hearing her tell me that she knew my blog. How awesome is that? I fan girled because this was the first time an author has told me that.
My very first publisher party invite. Getting that email just before BEA 2011 was amazing because I have never been to a publisher party. It was so much fun
Hanging out with Kelley Armstrong and Melissa Marr after the Smart Chicks Kick it Tour in Montreal. We were all hanging around and just talking.

So that is some of my best memories, what are yours?
